Success story update: In March of this year I posted this story: I felt I had to share this amazing story with you: On 7/3/04 I was spending the last day, of a week long stay with my sister. I was on Genes connected and my Brother in Law asked me what I could do, to try and find out anything about his mother ( He hadn,t seen her since she left home when he was very young and had later been told by his father that she was dead! ) I did a name search and lo and behold there was a match. I sent a mail to the lady and waited. The following Wednesday, back at my house I got a mail back. To cut a long story short, after quite a few more e-mails, I was delighted to discover that she was indeed, my Brother in Laws Mum, ALIVE and well, he also has a half brother he never knew existed!! On 14/3/04 she rang him up and they had a long chat, and this Sunday 21/3/04 he is going to spend the first Mothers Day for 41 years with his Mum. I still can't believe it, like I said.......AMAZING. UPDATE:-) My Brother in Law is now in regular contact with his MUM, By phone and in person, his sister has also been to visit her (his mother was told his sister had died in a road accident when she was very young!!!!) I have also been in regular contact with his Mum and met her, she is a wonderful lady, with a wicked sense of humour! And his Mum is going to spend the first Christmas with him, and his family, for 40 years. All because of Genes.....Brilliant. Thankyou Genes for making this possible. Gail.
